The two sides of Fifteen

Writing this novel has been a journey of introspection and empathy. Drawing upon my own experiences and academic background in psychology, I sought to create a story that authentically reflects the complexities of adolescence—particularly the unique challenges young women and men face in today’s world. As an adult author, I understand the pressures and vulnerabilities of this transitional phase. I’ve witnessed firsthand the societal expectations that shape these experiences, and I’ve felt the weight of those expectations myself. This book is not just a story; it is an exploration of the unspoken realities, the nuanced emotions, and the often-conflicting narratives that define the adolescent experience.
